How to do a Grass Replacement for Real Estate Photos Using Photoshop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2020
- In this video tutorial, I demonstrate how to do a grass replacement or enhancement for your real estate photos using Adobe Photoshop. During the winter or colder months when the grass is not in season, the lawns in your real estate photos look pretty drab. I often get asked by real estate agents to "make the grass green" and this is the simple and fast way that I get it done. I hope you find it helpful!

Small typo in your Title. "How to a Grass Replacement"
Controlled Chaos you’re right! Thanks!
this was straight to the point and super helpful, thank you so much!
THANK YOU!!! Helpful, easy to follow, & crazy useful!
Thank you for the guide. You are helping me out a lot!
This video was amazing, thanks man! Just what I needed!
As always, excellent
I would definitely use this when the grass turns yellow in winter. Thanks!
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing
Love it! 💜 Thx you!!!
Awesome!!! Never new how easy that was.
Esparza Virtual Tours and Video yeah, not bad right?!
You saved me today! We have had so much rain in Texas that the normally beautiful lawns look like puddles of dirty water.
So sick. Love your channel
Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! Liked and subscribed.
Great video to the point! This will help with our current FL drought. Would love to see the original before all edits!
So slick! Thanks for this :)
You are a very smart man!!!
Your method is cool!
Thanks Ashish!
Thank you so much😊
Holy cow thank you so much sir, I instantly made something amazing from your technique , subscribed, great work
Thanks!
Great content and to the point
Thank you!
If i watched your videos hours ago you would have saved me about 2-3 hours. Ive been trying to fix this grass patch for a hotel since about 7pm its now 9:30pm. THANK YOU - I now also know something in photoshop my girlfriend doesn't know - but I had to show her this. Its whicked!
Glad it helped!
I can do for you..
Thank you
I get grass replacement and sky replacement all the time. Nothing wrong with it its not like you are adding a garage on to a house or something.
Nice video thanks.
Good tutorial
Thank you so much
Set the grass image layer to Multiply for a more natural result :)
Looks good to me.
Where can I get that grass image?
whenever i cut the grass and paste in the photo to be filled, it shrinks and does not give option to reshape the grass//how can i get the grass without shrinkation or how can i be able to re shape the grass picture according to the field area
Great technique! Really accentuates what the property “could” look like. Nicely done.
Thanks Kevin!
Супер. Вы молодец
This was a big help as I am new to editing and I will add this to my privet learning video list to watch again !! Thank you so much !!
Just Great! Do you recommend the same technique for windows? Maybe you can make a video for windows background replacements. 💡🙏🏼
Great Video! You mentioned that you are in New Jersey. Glad to find someone on the East Coast. It seems like every body doing these videos are in nice sunny areas like Florida, California, Arizona, Texas etc. I too am on the East Coast and I'm a newbie looking to break into this field but I one thing I find that none of the Real Estate Photography gurus on RUclips never talk about is shooting in the winter when its cold or snowing etc. Does business slow down or become non existent during Dec-March? How does snow affect your shooting and camera adjustments? And what type of additional gear is needed? I wish more was talked about regarding this issue. You are one of my favorites out of all the YT Gurus who speak on Real Estate Photography/Videography so I would greatly appreciate your expert insight or a future video on this topic.
Thanks! Things slow down a little bit during like this time of year with the holidays and all. Not a lot of people want to sell their homes during that time. That being said, I am shooting everyday still for the most part. Just doing like 2-4 shoots a day rather than like 4-7 a day during the busier seasons. No extra gear is needed during the winter. Process is all the same for me so nothing changes in that regard.
great!!!!!!
Paul Wence thanks!
how much do you charge the agents?
Paul Wence I personally don’t charge any extra for this sort of thing nor do I charge for a sky replacement.
sorry i mean, how much do u charge for real estate photoshoot?
How do you add tree shadows to the foreground?
Hi great job, how can this be done when you have shadowing on the lawn from tree's and structures
Cheers Col
where do you get the grass? how to display the shadow on the grass from the trees? thanks
All the grass photos I upload to photoshop are too small to fit in the area. How do I find the right grass image?
Why does my Brush color through?
Is there anything that I need to adjust like the black and white little boxes?
Nice and simple it appears for sure. I am a new PS user. So a couple of questions. Once you have completed the edits on this grass replacement and you are ready to save the final changes. What do you do next? Do you go to the export function to move this new image creation to its destination? How do you save it? as a tiff a jpeg?? I have seen some videos showing the editor moves it back into lightroom. How? This is probably super simple but as a newbie we just have to ask! Thanks
O.H. Brown if you sent it to photoshop from inside Lightroom then when you save it in photoshop the new file will automatically populate back into Lightroom and you can export it from there. Otherwise I would just save it as a jpg out of photoshop
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Thanks Mike! Appreciate your prompt response! Lots to learn for sure and post processing surely can be made simpler by getting excellent shots out the gate. I have watched several of your tutorials! Keep up the great work!
O.H. Brown thanks!
Nice video. Will you do a sky replacement one too? Hopefully you made a bit of money with my recent large purchase from Amazon based on your advice.
Hi Rick! Thanks so much for the support! Really appreciate it! Yes, I definitely plan on making a sky replacement video at some point so stay tuned :)
Great stuff I have a problem though. Every time I try to take images off of the internet when I paste into PS its super small. When I try to resize, it loses quality. Help!
I purchase mine from stock photo sites
Do you use a tilt shift lens for your homes?
Hi, no, I use a regular 16-35mm zoom lens pretty much exclusively.
Hey, I have been bingeing your videos lately. I really appreciate them. I was wondering do you charge for this? And if you do is it like per photo or per set? I am just starting out but I have the advantage of being a home inspector and my mom is a real estate agent.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying the videos! I don’t usually charge extra for doing the grass. I’ll just do it if the agent requests.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Videos are great, thank you! So are you suggesting that you would've just left the grass as is if the agent never requested it?
Thomas Gerhardt thanks! Yes, I will patch up existing grass and make it look a little nicer but to do a complete replacement like this I wouldn’t just do unless requested. If I did do it without request for some reason I would always give both versions to the agent, replaced grass and not replaced grass.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Much appreciated man. Love the videos and look forward to more content. Big fan.
Thomas Gerhardt thank you!
Do you have a link to the grass image you found online?
John Zappone I’m sorry I don’t! It was quite a while ago that I got that so don’t quite remember.
could anyone help me, my problem is that if i cut something out of a picture, lets say a deer, that was standing on grass and i dont have a picture of grass to use/want to use, how should i do it? Some of my friends told me to use the copy stamp, others told me to cut out grass of a different place in the photo and use it for there, and others told me to use the repair brush, ty so much already
just curious, do you have a tip for shadows? say from trees or over head roofs. can't seem to find any time on it. tried darken mode, increase blacks and shadows but still doesn't look right.
Lower the flow of the brush in shadow areas so the shadows come through.
THANK YOU for saving me from a fuqing high maintenance agent!
In the photo I'm using, there's a bush and you can see the real dead grass through it but I can't just paint new grass over it. What do you suggest?
Reduce the flow of your brush and try to brush in a bit inside the bush. And yes, it will take some work to make it look right.
I am new to photoshop. When I paste the grass onto the picture, why don't I get the function to allow me to adjust the size or move the grass around?
I'm having the same issue. I can't make it past that part.
Same here. I am new to photoshop too.
I'm back again, is there a way to keep a grass image in photoshop so i don't have to import every time i do a replacement?
No, you’ll have to open it every time you want to use it
Buyers will be pissed pulling up 😭🤣🤣🤣
I NEED THIS GRASS PICURE. ANYONE HAS IT?
What app or software do you recommend if we can’t afford adobe photoshop?
Not sure to be honest with you! Sorry 😐. I’ve been using photoshop for years so that’s really what I’m familiar with.
Inside Real Estate Photography lol yea no problem. Thanks for the great video tho
@@kevinescobar632 Gimp is a free open source image editing software thats been around for a long time. Give it a try, its pretty good / comparable.
If there was a shadow at the grass part then how would you reveal that shadow so that the replacement looks natural... As you just painting with a reveal mask then natural shadows hide beneath the grass
Reducing the opacity a bit reveals some of the natural shadows
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Sir please make a short video on that...
@@MSanglingadventure777 I actually show it a bit in this video if you watch back
Blink twice if you're being made to do this video against your will.
In all seriousness, thanks for the help lol
What kind of sorcery is this?!?! 😳
Do you do critiques? I would like to send you my photos and get some feedback from you.
I do consulting in my Patreon group (link in all my video descriptions). I also do mentoring sessions. Info is on my website if your interested. www.insiderealestatephotography.com
I would definitely not do that. I might make the grass there greener but not put someone else’s lawn in front of the house .
Highly unethical
This seems dishonest and will more than likely have the realtor getting complaints from potential buyers. Folks sometimes travel great distances based on honest photography. Outside of the realtor saying the seller is installing new sod shortly after the shoot, I will steer clear of being part of this. I'm a firm believer in integrity over profits.
